Peggy Garrett, “Forty-three Baltimore Street,” Cumberland County History 13 (1996): 63-76.

Peggy Garrett tells the story of a family who lived at Forty-three Baltimore street in Carlisle, Pennsylvania for three generations. When Jonas and Mary Foulk Kee bought the property in the 1890s, they had lived in Carlisle for more than three decades. Jonas Kee, along with several other members of his extended family, served in the United States Colored Troops and moved to Carlisle after the Civil War. Garrett also examines some of the difficulties that the family faced in their new community. In addition, Garrett provides extensive information on the family’s history and highlights a number of interesting details. Researchers can access the documents and other material that Garrett used in the Johnson Family Collection at the Cumberland County Historical Society.
